116. The rain is picked from the green field up the mountain

Seeing Sun Yuanqi's hesitation, Yasuya Uchida hurriedly struck while the iron was hot: President Sun, in modern times, the doors of our Japan and China have been opened by the strong ships and cannons of the European and American powers, which has caused the country to be humiliated, and the people are still regarded as inferior people in the international community, which we can never bear! Japan and China are good-neighborly and friendly countries that are united by a strip of water, and they should support each other to resist the hegemony of Europe and the United States and achieve common prosperity in East Asia. “

I have watched the Anti-Japanese War film and television dramas since I was a child, but all the Japanese criminals and Han traitors must say that China and Japan will promote the common prosperity of East Asia, so I am extremely disgusted with these two words. Seeing that Minister Ben was also in this tone, Sun Yuanqi sneered and asked: As far as I know, since Mr. Yukichi Fukuzawa, the 'father of modern education' in your country, put forward the theory of breaking away from Asia and joining Europe, he has always been regarded as a model by the government of your country, and has actively looked up to Europe and the United States. At present, the ministers are all about fighting against Europe, the United States and the common prosperity of East Asia. We are confused now, what is your country's disengagement with Asia? Still won't take it off?

On March 16, 5, Fukuzawa Yukichi wrote an editorial of more than 2,000 words in the "New Report on Current Affairs", which is the famous "Theory of Detachment from Asia". The idea of breaking away from Asia and joining Europe was officially put forward in the article. In "Said

In the chronology of this Political History, there is a special entry for this event, and its importance can be seen in the major events that occurred in the fifth year.

In the article, Yukichi Fukuzawa wrote: For the sake of the present day, Japan should not hesitate to wait for the enlightenment of its neighbors and jointly revitalize Asia, but should break away from its ranks and advance and retreat together with the countries of Western civilization; The way to deal with Zhiwana and Chao Xian cannot be given special attention because they are neighbors, but can only be dealt with in the same way that Westerners treat them. According to Fukuzawa Yukichi, China and the DPRK should not be regarded as friendly neighbors, but should be regarded as colonies that can be carved up, just like the Western powers. Because of leaving Asia and entering Europe

's great remarks, as well as his words on education, made Uchida Yasuya blush, and he didn't say anything for a long time.

Hantaro Nagaoka hastened to relieve the siege: What Mr. Fukuzawa said was based on the domestic situation in Japan at the time of the reform of the law 40 years ago, and as your country says on a daily basis, "Overkill must be overdone, and now Japan is also reflecting on and correcting this problem." But. The historical facts of so many years have proved to us that it is impossible to enrich the country and strengthen the army by simply learning the traditional culture of East Asia.

It is also necessary to actively study Western scientific knowledge. Mr. Sun, doesn't your study and work experience also reflect this?

Nagaoka's words expose the crucial flaws of Chinese culture: it can be maintained, but it is difficult to forge ahead; Pay attention to spiritual cultivation and ignore material civilization.

Seeing that Sun Yuanqi was thoughtful, Nagaoka continued: Besides, in terms of the general trend of the development of human civilization. Science should be borderless, because science is a system of knowledge that reflects the essential relationship of the objective world and the laws of its movement, and it is objective, truthful, and systematic, and it is a true body of knowledge. As a reflection of objective laws, science itself has no class or ethnic character.

Moreover, the fundamental purpose of research science is to benefit all mankind, and all scientific knowledge and research results are ultimately shared by all mankind. Therefore, the dissemination of scientific knowledge is transcendent and international, and can serve any ethnic group, any country, and any social stratum. Therefore, I implore Mr. Sun to open his mind. Accommodating more students! "Cut! Yes, science knows no borders. But scientists have borders.

Sun Yuanqi was reluctant to refute it, so he had to say from another angle: However, the quota of international students from various countries has been confirmed by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and sent to various countries. According to the "Regulations of the Great Qing Dynasty for Students Traveling to China from the East and West of the Qing Dynasty", there are generally more liberal arts and less science; There are many science subjects and few engineering subjects. What country is willing to give up the quota that is not enough for mining?

At this time, Yasuya Uchida had already recovered his combat effectiveness, and he was overjoyed when he heard this, and hurriedly said: Regarding this, we have three solutions: First, the admission quota can be adjusted again. Because Spain's Gengzi loan is less than 100,000 taels of silver, if the full amount of students is sent every year, there will be no money available in two or three years; However, Belgium and the Netherlands have small populations and do not have Gengzi funds, so it is impossible to send a full number of students every year. The difference in this can be transferred to the book at the discretion of Mr. Sun.

Secondly, Mr. Sun can also apply to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to increase the total number of international students and allocate the additional quota to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Not only are we willing to accept this situation, but I believe that your government will also be optimistic. As for the third, I would like to ask Mr. Sun to reduce the number of places in Chinese literature, philosophy, history, Chinese medicine, and other disciplines among the 15 places in my book, and increase them to physics, electronics, nuclear engineering, and other directions.

I think that as long as we coordinate these three plans, your Ministry of Foreign Affairs will not oppose them. Lord He, are you right? Originally, Sun Yuanqi thought that He Renli would come to this question like other officials, hahaha After the official returns, he will definitely play to the peak, please consider it, and then it will be two months after a consideration, and half a year for a study, as long as you relax your efforts, there will be no news about the whole proposal immediately. Who knew that He Renli broke out today, and immediately replied when he heard it:

At the time of the collection, our Lord Shangshu had already said that under the premise that the quota was not less than the original stipulation, as long as all parties were satisfied, the ministry would not interfere. Therefore, it depends on what Principal Sun means

Seeing He Renli kicking the ball to himself, Sun Yuanqi was a little depressed. In desperation, he carefully weighed the three proposals proposed by Minister Ben in his heart: the third plan was undoubtedly the most unacceptable. Although we hate Yue himself, we must also see the advantages of Yue himself: rigorous, meticulous, intelligent, hard-working, and patriotic. Just give them a chance, they feel

The simplest example of being able to play with advanced technology is that nearly 20 people have won the Nobel Prize so far, including the Nobel Prize in Physics Hideki Yukawa (1949), Shinichiro Asaga (1965), Rei Ezaki (1973), Masatoshi Koshiba (2002), Makoto Kobayashi (2008), Toshihide Masagawa (2008), etc., and the Chemistry Prize is Kenichi Fukui (19), Hideki Shirakawa (2000), Ryoji Noyori (2001), Koichi Tanaka (2002), Osamu Shimomura (2008), Akira Suzuki (2010), Eiichi Negishi (2010), etc. If this student really gets in touch with the core of nuclear physics, I don't know what moth they can make!

The second option doesn't work either. If it is for Grandma Cixi to choose, she must be sure that her old man will like this one. But the school is so big, the teachers are so small, and the number of 200 people is already overwhelming, so can there be more? After all, it belongs to demolishing the east wall and making up the west wall, besides, people are not allowed to say that he demolished the east wall! In addition, other countries also have more liberal arts and less science and engineering. They borrow to the liberal arts, so naturally it doesn't matter; If they lend money to science and engineering, brother, I'll let you follow Einstein in the unified field theory.

I don't believe it, what Einstein didn't understand, and no one in the next 50 years will understand, you can instinctively straighten it out!

Seeing that Sun Yuanqi had been pondering, Yasuya Uchida took another dose of fierce medicine: Mr. Sun, as long as you agree to one of these three plans, my contribution, the head of Fukuzawa Yukichi is now printed on the largest denomination of the 10,000 yuan banknote. Yasuya Uchida didn't expect Sun Yuanqi to suddenly mention this stubble, and it took a while before he defended: What my country said about breaking away from Asia and joining Europe. It is only a matter of changing the old Asian system politically and economically, and actively aligning ourselves with the civilized countries of the West: but culturally, our roots have remained in Asia and have never wavered. “

Really? That's the way it is. Sun Yuanqi looked at it as a positive answer, but even a fool could hear a strong sense of skepticism from his words, in fact, when he left Asia and joined Europe, he chose to make a complete break with Chinese culture. Even during the Meiji Restoration, Sinology was denied the right to teach for a time. According to Yang Shoujing, for a long time after the Meiji Restoration, European winds and rains ravaged the country. The Chinese ancient books were regarded as a symbol of backwardness, and scholars abandoned the old books. Yang Shoujing took the opportunity to collect and purchased rare Chinese books and domestic scattered books from Bibliophiles such as Mori Liyuki and Shimada Shigeri

There are 654 cheats. More than 30,000 volumes. Subsequently, Wang Guowei, Fu Zengxiang, Dong Kang, Zhang Yuanji, Sun Kaidi and others came to the city one after another, resulting in a rare phenomenon of the return of Chinese classics at the end of the Qing Dynasty and the beginning of the Republic of China.

But Yasuya Uchida was still a dead duck with a hard mouth, nodded and replied: That's right! “

Sun Yuan nodded: Since the Minister also believes that the cultural roots of the people have always been in Asia. Then we should cherish and study it more conscientiously and strive to carry forward the excellent East Asian civilization. It is precisely for this reason that I have given you a quota for international students. Unexpectedly, the Minister and I coincided, what a heart! "The second option doesn't work either. If it is for Grandma Cixi to choose, she must be sure that her old man will like this one. But the school is so big, the teachers are so small, and the number of 200 people is already overwhelming, so can there be more? Choose to choose, only the first plan is more reliable, after all, it belongs to demolishing the east wall to make up the west wall, besides, people are not allowed to say that he will tear down the east wall! In addition, other countries also have more liberal arts and less science and engineering. They borrow to the liberal arts, so naturally it doesn't matter; If they lend money to science and engineering, brother, I'll let you follow Einstein in the unified field theory.

I don't believe it, what Einstein didn't understand, and no one in the next 50 years will understand, you can instinctively straighten it out!

Seeing that Sun Yuanqi had been pondering, Yasuya Uchida took another dose of fierce medicine: Mr. Sun, as long as you agree to one of these three plans, we will also agree to the students of your school to study abroad! “

Sun Yuanqi didn't have this aspect of consideration, and after listening to his words, he suddenly remembered that he had promised to send Zhao Jingxing to the Yueben Army Non-commissioned Officer School in the early years, but he didn't ask again, and he didn't know if that kid still had this intention now. At that moment, he asked nonchalantly: "Then can I recommend a few students to study at the Army Non-commissioned Officer School?"

Yasuya Uchida also didn't answer directly: Because the school is a military school, we can't make a direct decision, I'm afraid I will have to ask the country before I can reply to you! “

Sun Yuanqi knew in his heart: what needs to be asked by China before he can answer, it is nothing more than wanting to let himself express his position first. So he nodded and said, "I think that as long as you agree, we can accept the first option." (To be continued.)
